Get a whole new routine. The high volume splits are a waste of time. Right now a full body based routine would be best.

You shouldn't be doing deads passed 8 reps IMO, after that it defeats the purpose and its easier to get injured. What I was getting at is that doing a 5x5 for deads is much better than doing a 4x12 for deads. The deadlift is supposed to be one of your heaviest lifts, if not the heaviest, and doing it for 12 reps really diminishes your ability to lift those heavy weights.

Search the site for Rippetoe's starting strength, thats the kind of program you want to be running, 3 days a week and within the 5 rep range.
